From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (BeOS; U; BeOS BePC; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020312 BuildID: 2002031218 When I launch a print preview or a print, Mozilla says I got no priter, while I GOT one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start Mozilla 2.Click on Printer icon Actual Results: Mozilla says: "There was a problem printing: no printer could be found" Expected Results: It should have printed. Printing DID work in Mozilla 0.98

I don't have BeOS, so I can't test it. As a troubleshooting step, though, could you try reinstalling your printer?

Just tried. It didn't help.

Boris, any ideas?

Nope, sorry. I have no printer set up on _any_ OS (I just print to file).

Printing is not implemented "yet" under BeOS

Fine. But in Mozilla 0.98 I COULD start a print preview. Now I can't.

Good point. Plus, you should be allowed to print to a file (ps), which you could do before. I had not tried this under 0.9.9. The postscript code is still being compiled under BeOS, so it seems that maybe this is a problem. I believe under *nix, a default "lpr" printer always exists, which is why this problem would not arrise there. So, the Bug is that even though a printer does not exist, you should still be allowed to print/preview, since you can print to a file, but, mozilla won't allow you to, since, there is no printer defined.

Someone needs to implement the nsIPrinterEnumerator on BeOS, at least make it do the same thing as GTK for PS

I'll do it some time this week. Taking assignment.

This will get the postscript printer building into the global printer list under BeOS. Mainly it was no longer in the Makefile.in. But, I also cleaned up some code to get ready for native printing. The XPrint stuff can be and will be removed before final patch is ready, since, well, we will never print from mozilla under X11 under BeOS :) Question, the postscript code was crashing under BeOS, unless I made the included change. I don't know how this works on other platforms, unless the PRUint32 is mapped to something non-primitive. Any ideas?

well, the above patch no longer works, or applies cleanly. There were some problems, according to the bonsai logs, on 5/7/02, that required changes to some of the code that the above patch affected. I will post a new patch sometime soon.

this seems interesting for 1.0.1. however, the bug is futured. if we get traction for this in the 1.0.1 milestone, please re-nominate.

hit in smoketests. I'll look into this afterwards. Note: I couldn't close the ok dialog that told me there were no printers. Which means I died. Relnote: Printing in BeOS is not implemented. Whomever generates the package for BeOS should probably disable the print menuitems. I'll try to remember to make a patch for that too.

I have been working on this, in my spare time. Currently, the work I have is broken, due to other changes that were made. If I get a chance, I try to work on this some more, to at least be able to print postscript, though, I was having problems getting the ps library built.

I think I have the same problem on Solaris 1.3b (2003021104) ("There was a problem printing. No printer could be found", and "Printing failed...", which didn't happen in 1.1)

Will look into this again, once Bug#218134 is commited

Paul, i have feeling that timeless was submitted quite big patch (though, very preliminary) too. But name of that bug imho was quite mystical, so i cannot find it immediately. But maybe i'm wrong.

I am having the same problem with Solaris 2.8 and Mozilla 1.4: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701 I was definitely able to print in one of the Solaris 2.6 builds I downloaded sometime in June 2003. I was wondering if it's just a matter of setting the proper environment variables?

I have a $50 reward for whoever gets printing to work in BeOS. Follow the link for details. http://bezilla.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Forum&file=viewtopic&topic=100&forum=2

Adding "BeOS" to the summary. Chris, you might want to find a more reliable host for your bounty than bezilla.org - the site seems to be dead at the moment. Prog.

bezilla.org seems to be working fine to me, but i'll go ahead and post the whole thing here as well. I have 50 US dollars ready to send via paypal to whoever gives the BeOS port of mozilla the ability to print to an actual printer (printing to a file doesn't count). If anyone wants to commit additional reward dollars, please post here. If you have any other kind of comment, please post here. I am also announcing this in the BeOSJournal forums, but i'd like to keep everything in one place. In order to qualify for the reward, someone must provide me with a working build for BeOS 5.0 Intel (net_server). I have a fully supported HP LaserJet attached to my machine that I will test with. Output must be similar to what one would get by printing a webpage with mozilla under a different OS. You can't just print any old mess and call it a success.

Since I first posted my printing reward (almost 7 months ago), a lot has happened in the BeOS world. But no one has stepped forward with a solution to this problem. So I would like to revise my proposal: The reward has now been quadrupled from $50 to $200. The rest of the proposal remains the same as in comment number 24 (except the bezilla.org part葉hey seem to be down for the count).

(In reply to comment #24) > If anyone wants to commit additional reward dollars, please post here. I will contribute USD100 towards this cause. Koki

Nothing has been happening on the beos side for a while, closing.
